I refer the Deputy to previous replies on the 29 April 2008 (100), 8 May 2008 (120) and 13 May 2008 (138) made by my predecessor. It is a matter for each public body directly concerned, particularly the Local Authorities, to seek implementation resources for aspects and recommendations within their remits. It is also open to Local Authorities to seek resources indirectly, through schemes such as the Gateway Innovation Fund, administered by the Department of Environment, Heritage & Local Government.
